Strength by game phase

Brand's abilities

Passive, spells and ultimate

Blaze (P)

Brand's spells light his targets ablaze, dealing damage over 4 seconds, stacking up to 3 times. If Brand kills an enemy while it is ablaze he regains mana. When Blaze reaches max stacks on a Champion or large monster, it becomes unstable. It detonates in 2 seconds, applying spell effects and dealing massive damage in an area around the victim.

Playing as Fiddlesticks

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Strike from out of their vision

    Channel Crowstorm (R) out of their vision, from a brush or behind a wall: if you're unseen when your spells hit, Terrify (Q) fears them too.

  2. Aim the center of your scythe

    Aim the center of Reap (E) at the key target: in the center, they're silenced; at the edges, only slowed.

  3. Finish your harvest

    Channel Bountiful Harvest (W) to the end on camps and minion groups: you heal for part of the damage, and the remaining cooldown drops by 60%.

  4. Place your effigies

    Place the effigies from A Harmless Scarecrow (passive) in key brushes: they replace your trinket, and Terrify (Q) can fear when you're mimicking one.

Playing against Brand

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge his Q while you burn

    When you're ablaze, prioritize dodging Sear (Q): it stuns any target that's ablaze.

  2. Leave his pillar of flame

    Leave the Pillar of Flame (W) area as soon as it appears: it lands after a short delay and hits harder if you're ablaze.

  3. Punish his lack of mobility

    If you can engage, go in on him: his kit has no dash and no shield.

  4. Spread out from your allies

    Spread out from your allies in teamfights: Pyroclasm (R) bounces between nearby enemies, and Blaze (passive) explodes around a target at 3 stacks.
